What this mod does
This mod by itsloopyo adds head tracking to Assetto Corsa EVO without needing a VR headset. The camera moves with your head while the car, physics and controls stay the same. That way you can look toward the apex, peek around a pillar or check your mirrors with a natural movement.
Features
- Six-degrees-of-freedom tracking: rotation and position.
- Horizon-locked look, which follows the world’s vertical axis even in banked corners.
- Works in the cockpit, dashboard, hood, fixed exterior and chase views.
- Compatible with any source that speaks the OpenTrack protocol: neural-network webcam tracking, TrackIR, Tobii or a phone app.
How it works
The mod only receives your head position over UDP on port 4242. A tracker like OpenTrack is what calculates and sends it. If you use your phone, you send the data to your PC’s IP on the local network and allow UDP in the firewall. End or Ctrl+Shift+Y toggles tracking on and off, and Page Up switches between rotation plus position, rotation only or position only.
Safety
On launch, it checks the game executable. If it doesn’t recognize the version, it stays inactive and EVO works as usual, which avoids problems after a patch. Although EVO already includes TrackIR, the author keeps it going because it supports network connections and more cameras. It’s open source under the MIT license.
